It can be hard keeping track of what is and isn’t legitimate criticism of our President-Messiah*, so the kind folks at Missourah.com have made this handy-dandy flow chart so you, too, can keep track at home.
*(Does that make me look racist?)
Not content to see fascists, racists, creationists, and whateverelse-ists behind every bush, the denizens of Charles Johnson’s (formerly enjoyable) Little Green Footballs are now resorting to planting bait at other blogs:
Apparently CJ’s moderator Kilgore Trout went over there last night and started posting racist stuff. To see, he said, if it would be cleaned up.
It wasn’t. Because both Allah and Ed were asleep. It being the middle of the night.
“There” being Hot Air. As the great philosopher once said, “WTF??”
Maybe Charles should ban himself.

The Los Angeles Times reports today that California’s unemployment rate has reached 12.2%, the highest it’s been in 60 years:
Despite signs an economic recovery has begun in the state, California’s unemployment rate inched up in August, once again setting a new postwar high at 12.2%.
The state is one of 14 in the nation with an unemployment rate in the double digits, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported this morning. Only Michigan, Nevada and Rhode Island, at 15.2%, 13.2% and 12.8%, respectively, have higher unemployment rates than California. The national unemployment rate in August was 9.7%.
California has shed 741,000 jobs in the last year, and the state’s unemployment rate has climbed 4.6 percentage points from August 2008. The state’s July unemployment rate was 11.9%.
Economists predict that jobless figures will continue to rise for the rest of the year.
The highest since World War II. Next stop, the 1930s. That will give the Mandarins of the Golden Dome something to aim for.
Business cycles happen, but there’s no way this was made worse by sky-high state taxes, regulations that drive up the cost of business and then drive away businesses (and the jobs they create), unsupportable spending, and crazed borrowing that sucks money into a black hole of debt repayment, all brought to us by a legislature long-dominated by progressive Democrats.
Nope. Couldn’t be. Nothing to see here. Move along.
